Lifetap Support is a support gem. It causes linked skills to be paid using life instead of mana, similar to the Blood Magic keystone, but at the expense of a very high skill cost multiplier. Spending a certain amount of life gives the Lifetap buff, which causes skills supported by Lifetap to deal more damage. Supports any non-blessing skill. Minions cannot gain the Lifetap buff. Support, Duration. Level: 1–20. Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 300%. Requires Level 8.
This is a Support Gem. It does not grant a bonus to your character, but to skills in sockets connected to it. Place into an item socket connected to a socket containing the Active Skill Gem you wish to augment. Right click to remove from a socket.

The mana cost of any skill supported by this gem will be paid with life instead of mana.
The mana cost will still be calculated normally[confirmation needed because of 3.14 change] – reduced Mana Cost, reduced Total Cost and other similar modifiers will still apply, but the resulting cost will be paid with life.
Supporting minion skills with Lifetap Support will affect both the cost you pay to use the skill, and the cost the resulting minion uses to pay its own skills, if any. This can help certain spectres use their skills more often.
Lifetap Support can drop anywhere. Drop level: 8.

The Blood Magic Support gem has been split into Arrogance Support and Lifetap Support gems, as the lack of a damage multiplier made it a poor choice for primary skills. Now each of these new supports is balanced for the appropriate use case.
